beckoners
People waving over
Beckoners are people or things that beckon—that gesture, signal, or entice someone to come closer or follow.
The word usually appears in figurative contexts: The city lights were beckoners to ambitious young people.
A beckoner draws you toward something, whether literally with a wave or metaphorically through allure.
